V. ntimn VTTH1?1 IHtUrtL IttJUll!- lUtn-r Lutim DAN HEARN BEGINS 15 DAY SENTENCE Dan Hearn, wboue cane was affirm- ed by the supreme court, In which the Grants Pass man was fined 1250 and sentenced to 15 days In the county jail, on a charge of Belling liquor In prohibition territory, went to Jack sonville Tuesday, In order to Inter view District Attorney Mulkey with a view to seeking some way by which the punishment could be averted. Hearn was arrested last fall on a charge of selling liquor In prohibition territory, which territory was the city of Grants Pass. There was question and division as to whether Grants Pass, having gone wet In a special election by 49 votes, which afterwards was declared Illegal, was a real ' prohibition town, legally speaking. The county had gone dry by a small majority; but the liquor Interests held that as the city had vot ed wet they had a legal right to sell their wares, and Hearu was chosen to make a test case. He was charg ed with selling liquor In prohibition territory, arrested and as a result of his trial, which was held In January, was fined $250 and sentenced to 15 days In Jail. Heorn appealed the case. The supreme court affirmed the sentence as Imposed by Judge Calkins, at the same time denying a new trial. The papers In the case were sent back to the trial court here, and Saturday last Judge Calkins gave an order that County Clerk Cheshire Issuo the proper papers to Sheriff Smith, Instructing the sheriff to take the defendant Into custody and to see that the sentence was carried out. It Is supposed that the other deal ers agreed to divide the cost of the litigation and stand a portion of the fine If any should be Imposed. t A petition Was circulated in Grants Pass during the wee It and which has now been sent to Governor West asking the governor to eliminate the Beutonce of 15 days in the county Jail Imposed on Dan Iloarn. Mr. Ileum voluntarily placed him self In the custody of the sheriff last evening. He had Just vi'turned from Jacksonville, where !.j Interviewed District Attorney Mulkey regarding th sentence, Mulltey told him that the only way In which the sentence could be removed would be action by the governor, hence the petition. In speaking of the matter this morning Dan I learn said: "The sen tence of 15 days, regardless of the 1 monetary fine, 1 consider unjust. It was understood by all parties In court that It was a IohI case and for that reason I allowed the matter to go by default, never considering such a thing us a heavy fine and Jail sentence. "It was n case where equally Intel ligent men differed as to what was the law, and 1 repeat that I consider the sentence unjust." MAKE MILL RUN ON GOLD BUG GROUP CXIMUS MOUNT SHASTA WITHOUT AID OF GUIDE Jack Casey was In Thursday from the Cold Bug group, the mining prop erty owned by himself, Dan Hearn and others and .located in the hetco reiong. Casey stated that they have taken out n number of tons of oxidized ore and will put it through a small stamp mill located about a half mile distant, and owned by L. G. Hlggtns. "The ore continues rich," said Ca sey, "and there Is much of It, a ledge, that Is the pride of miner's hear. Prof. J. S. Diller, of the United States geological survey, who Is making a survey of our region, ex amined the ledge and our excavations and declared that we had a valuable property. The government man made copious notes In his examlna. tlon of the property." Casey has recently discovered that considerable stuff which has been cast aside Is ore of much value. It is hematite, principally, and today he showed samples of It to Dan Hearn and a representative of The Courier. Much shows free gold, so heavily Im pregnated that use of a mineral glass Is unnecessary. This ore will now be gathered up and put through the mill along with the other rock, the mill run to be a test, and with the knowledge that a considerable por tion of the values will not be saved. A. D. .Wise of the Rowell Music ! company, has received an interesting account of a trip made by a friend, L, ! a Tlvforo tn iha tnn nf Mount Shasta. Mr. Byers was a guest at the Wise home In this city several days ago and after leaving here went (to Slsson, Cal., for the purpose of climb ing Mt. Shasta. On reaching Slsson Mr. Byers said that he, with two others, was told that he would have to have a guide, and also would have to havejiorses to get to Horse Camp, located at the timber line, 15 miles from the foot of the mountain and five miles froin the summit. They were also told that it would be necessary to leave Slsson at noon, ride to Horse Camp and spend the night and arise at 2 o'clock next morning to make the ascent, which would take from 8 to 12 hours. Mr. Byers and hia party wished to make the trip without guide or hors es, and, consequently, disregarded di rections somewhat by starting from Slsson after supper and striking the trail just before dark, it was almost Impossible to'keep in the trail the first few miles on account of heavy brush, but there was absolutely no trouble in tracing It, as a small stream of water flowed down the middle of the path. Horsemen had an opportunity of avoiding all this annoyance, as a horse could travel up the bed of the stream and the rider would' be above the brjish, but the footman has many trials to en dure over this part of the mountain. After breaking through the brush for about six miles, by the light of a lantern, the party was weary and built 'a fire and took a short nap. When It awoke the moon had arisen and It 'was 2 o'clock. The party started on and soon struck a good trail which ! left the' creek and led through the forest all the way to Horse camp, j which was reached about 6 o'clock a. m. Securing several pike poles, and refreshing themselves with a lunch the gentlemen proceeded on their way up the mountain. Mt. Shasta Is known by the Indiana as the "Terrible Mountain" on ac count of the 6trange feelings which usually affect the climber. Mr. By ers said that they did experience "strange feelings," but nothing Beri ous. The many footprints of other parties marked plainly the path from Horse camp, mi they had very little difficulty on the .remainder of the journey. They passed between Thumb rock and Red bank, the former so called by Its peculiar upright posi tion, and Is located Just opposite the large bank of red soil. A field of snow was also crossed In the ascent. On arrival at the top a magnifi cent view was obtained of the sur rounding country. On clear days the ocean Is visible from the top of Shas ta. A register in an Iron box Is lo cated at the top of the mountain, where names of all visitors are regis tered. Mr. Byers says that on .ac count of not blacking his face 'suffi ciently It peeled rather badly but on SUNDAY, ALGtiT ZZt 19'u the whole the gentlemen thoroughly enjoyed their novel climb and arriv ed again at Slsson at 8 o'clock p. m. surprising quite a number of t'j9' citizens. Mr. Byers made the .ascent In five hours, the other members re quiring eight hours' time. The trip proved so very enjoyable to Mr. Byers that he writes Mr. Wise here that he intends to climb the peak again next week, and he will proba bly be able to avoid many unneces sary delays and annoyances of the first attempt. Mr. Byers has been climbing many mountains and peaks while on his trip through the west COMING EVENTS. September 11, Monday Opening of Grants Pass public schools. Pass.

At the Friday night meeting, Presi dent Klein read a communication from Mi. and Mrs. William Hofakcr. of Philadelphia, announcing the pre sentation of a silver loving cup, the trophy to awarded to the winning club, under conditions to bo decided later by the rx.cutlvo committee.

Ray is much In terested In the matter of using elec tricity as an agency to destroy the codling moth and other bug pests which is said to bo the latest innova tion introduced In modern apple or charding. W. M. Frost of Opportuni ty, Wash., Is said to have made what J. is declared to bo the first dewonstra- i tlon of its kind in the world. The; test was made in a six-year-old orch-i ard and more than a score of second-1 brood moths nnd many green aphis were killed in a few moments. j "The apparatus consists of a stor-. age buttery to charge the lncandes-' cent lisht glomes, each of six candle; power, which are netted with fine1 steel wire coated with copper and tin alternately. . Attracted by the bright lights In the trees, to which the i globes are carried at the ends of a! covered wire, the moths fly against the netting, complete the electric clr-j cult and are Instantly killed, 'the 1 bodies falling Into a receptacle plac ed beneath the globe. "Frost estimates that one battery to tin acre of trees will keep the I moths under control, thus eliminat ing the usual spraying and saving many dollars annually for help, equip-1 ment and fluid. He Is now prepar-; Ing to wire his orchard of 10 acres, containing 700 trees, aud several neighbors, who witnessed the Initial test are doing likewise. It Is report-: ed that several thousand acres of bearing apple trees will be equipped with, exterminators by next spring. "If commercial electric light wires are extended to the orchard tracts, us they are In many, the expense of batteries may be saved by making di rect connection. The cost of cov ering the globes with wire nets Is a small Item nnd any electrician can do the work."

Allen Is accused of giving a mort gage or selling some real estate lu Merlin to John Woolfolk, which prov ed to bo the property of Dr. Holton, so It Is alleged. The amount of money secured by Allen U said to have been $60. Allen was bound over to the grand Jury by Justice Harlan, ball being fixed at $300.
